American singer and actress Selena Gomez has celebrated her 34th birthday. Instead of throwing a lavish party, the star chose to spend her special day with her husband, music producer Benny Blanco, soaking up the charm of one of Italy’s most beautiful cities. The birthday girl shared a series of atmospheric photos from their romantic getaway to Florence on Instagram.

In the published images, Selena poses against the backdrop of the city’s evening skyline and the Arno River while blowing out the candle on her birthday dessert.

In her post, the singer expressed her heartfelt gratitude to everyone who wished her a happy birthday.

«First of all, I want to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart for your support, your kindness, and all of your warm birthday wishes. Because of you, I get to do what I love every single day. Thank you for making me the happiest girl in the world», the artist wrote.

Instead of traditional birthday gifts, Gomez encouraged her fans to support her charitable organization, the Rare Impact Fund, which helps young people gain access to mental health resources and educational programs.

Benny Blanco also shared a touching birthday message dedicated to his wife.

«My beautiful wife… I’ll always take you wherever you want to go. Happy birthday, my love», the producer wrote on his page.

According to tabloids, one of the most highly anticipated celebrity weddings of the year will take place this weekend. Selena Gomez is finally set to marry her fiancé, Benny Blanco. Some details of the upcoming celebration have already surfaced online.

The exact location remains strictly confidential. It is only known that the ceremony will be held in Montecito, an exclusive neighborhood in California. This picturesque town is home to numerous celebrities, including Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. The wedding will be overseen by Mindy Weiss, the legendary event planner frequently hired by the Kardashian family.

Mindy has been strictly forbidden from disclosing the venue of both the ceremony and the reception. Even the chefs preparing dishes for the star couple and their guests will not know where the food will ultimately be delivered. This is presumably done for security reasons and to ensure maximum privacy.

The guest list has only been partially revealed. The bride’s best friend, Taylor Swift, is confirmed to attend and celebrate Gomez’s big day — though she will arrive without her fiancé, Travis Kelce. Also invited are Nicky and Paris Hilton, as well as Ashley Park. Meryl Streep had promised to attend but changed her plans at the last minute. The reason for her withdrawal remains unclear. In total, around 300 guests are expected, with the overall cost of the ceremony estimated at approximately $300,000.

After the official ceremony, an after-party will follow, with Snoop Dogg serving as host. The rapper, a longtime friend of Benny Blanco, couldn’t pass up the chance to honor him, reports Daily Mail.

One of Hollywood’s brightest couples and newly engaged lovebirds, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, are so confident in their relationship that they decided to buy an expensive property even before their wedding. The couple has become the owners of their first family home, worth $35 million.

According to TMZ, the 32-year-old singer and the 36-year-old music producer closed the deal back in December, almost immediately after Benny proposed to Selena.

Reports suggest that the couple’s luxurious estate, built in a Spanish style, is located in Beverly Hills. The residence features seven bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a library, vintage spiral staircases, a conservatory, a fitness center, a swimming pool, and a glass greenhouse solarium.

Previously, the mansion belonged to a Hollywood director. As noted by the media, the couple did not hold back on their dream home, and their $35 million purchase became one of the most expensive real estate deals in the exclusive enclave over the past year.
